Day #21 - Twin Arrows

I've got a huge soft spot for Route 66, and a particular fascination for both the preservation / revival and the decay you can find along the route. Twin Arrows is one of the most iconic Arizona Route 66 landmarks for me, so I had to hop out of the car and take a few pictures here. It's disheartening to see it in such disrepair, but I guess that's just the way of things these days.

Day #6 - Route 66

In a little over a week, I'm flying up to Iowa to help my friend drive the family back to Tucson. We're not going to have much time for sightseeing, but her son's excited to see some of the wacky sights along Route 66. This is from the moderately famous Stewart's rock/fossil shop near Holbrook, AZ. I'd love to go back and get more shots on a less gloomy day, but that stretch of I-40/Route 66 is getting so decrepit, the gloom works.
